At least there's no elevator music...

[thespaceopera]

[At least two weeks have passed since the Drift Fleet passengers woke up on this strange wing of the Marsiva... Some new passengers have even joined the group instead of being Shuffled off to a fleet ship! The large monitor in the central room remains quiet for now, so how is everyone holding up?

Have you been relaxing? Enjoying the Earth media? If you can even remember them, how have Calibrations been treating you? Has anyone started getting a little stir-crazy?

Don't worry... This ship has no shortage of mysteries, and you'll be seeing a few more soon.]


ooc: here's another mingle for the current game event! players can start or continue threads here from any point during the event. the additional setting information is still being postponed due to sickly mods, but y'all are welcome to post additional topcomments for reactions and investigation once it's up!

[takeabow]

Yeah, I guess...

[ino]

[ She blinks ]

Is ... something wrong?

[takeabow]

Oh. No. Sorry. I'm really happy for you.

[ino]

It's okay, I just ... didn't want to upset you, is all.

[takeabow]

Why would you upset me?

[ we both know why ]

[ino]

[ She just kind of looks at Katniss, one eyebrow raised.

YOU KNOW WHY. ]

[takeabow]

[ shrugs ]

[ino]

[ Well. She'll just take a bite of meat then. ]

As long as you're actually okay.

[ None of that "I'm fine" crap ]

[takeabow]

It's just weird.

[ino]

What is?

[takeabow]

I know I had this whole life somewhere else but it's strange to think my friends did, too.

[ino]

You mean ... outside of here?

[takeabow]

It'd be less weird if Gale was here.

[ino]

[ ... if Gale were here, they wouldn't be having this conversation. Actually, Ino wonders briefly if they'd even be talking at all ...

Either way, things would be very different. The kind of different that makes her feel kind of guilty for the way things are, now. If he showed up with his memories now, to this ... ?

It would kill her to have to break his heart. ]

...

[ She opts to fill her mouth with food, so she doesn't have to respond to that ]

[takeabow]

Sorry. It'd be really weird if he were here for other reasons. I didn't mean—

Sorry.

[ino]

[ She shakes her head, waiting to chew and swallow before she talks. She manages a reassuring smile, anyways ]

It's fine. Don't worry about it.

[takeabow]

If I could not worry about it, that'd be great.
